What should I build next for signspell?

Hey everyone signspell (v2.0.0) is now on PyPI and I recently launched it on Product Hunt. It currently handles ASL fingerspelling (A Z) recognition using MediaPipe hand landmarks + a TFLite LSTM model, and I also built Gesto Labeller (a desktop tool for capturing/labeling training data).

I'm trying to figure out the next milestone and would love input from people actually using or evaluating it:

  • Would full word/phrase-level ASL recognition (beyond fingerspelling) be more valuable than polishing fingerspelling accuracy further?

  • Is real-time performance/latency on lower-end devices a bigger blocker than accuracy right now?

  • Should the next priority be broader sign language support (BSL, ISL, etc.) or going deeper on ASL first?

  • Any specific integrations you'd want (e.g. web SDK, mobile bindings, browser extension) that would make signspell more usable in your projects?

Genuinely open to being told I'm focusing on the wrong thing what's the gap you'd want filled next?

Gesto - Capture, Train, and Detect Gestures

Gesto is an open framework for gesture and pose recognition. Capture datasets from your webcam with Gesto Labeller (Community Edition), then train and detect with the gesto Python package.

Should I launch as an update on signspell page or a new launch | as a seperate product

Hi everyone,
I am about to complete my framework.
Should I keep the same Signspell or a new name for this framework.
I have GESTO in mind.
I have some initial tractions in the signspell thread.
What you suggest.
Having the samething or a new product launch itself.
